This morning the Orange Hitachi's and dump trucks started just outside Vicki's window, they started the dig for the new hospital.
The plan is 14 feet out and 14 feet down. That is a lot of dirt.
I asked Vickie if she ducked every time the bucket swung around at eye level...just about, yep. Because they were working so close to the edge, there is a moderate pucker factor especially when the one Hitachi was working down hill-ish trying to pry a tree stump out of the hillside and the back end of the tracks was rearing up off the freaking ground. I had to go type something LOUD for a little bit. Sheesh.
By this afternoon a great deal of dirt had been removed, the guys working the Hitachi's (two of them were digging away) had dumped a great many loads into the dump trucks. I think they filled up the soccer field, there MUST be some low lying ground somewhere that needs some dirt.
Here be parking! Finished, occupied, employees park in yellow striped zones, patients park in white etc. It sure looks nice and parks even better. I will drive and park tomorrow, there is not room to double park so first come, first serve! Just don't leave for lunch or you will wind up parking on the street. Because the front parking lot was partially blocked and open for the dump trucks to enter and exit, a few patients tried to park in the front, but they had to give that up when it became apparent that they could not get into the front door as usual, it was blocked off too. Mr. Z's PA and the director of marketing donned safety vests and helmets and flagged traffic for a little bit to get people used to parking IN BACK where there are DOORS....eventually, just keep walking folks, follow the signs. Wheelchairs are available.

That is a LOT of dirt. I'd be curious to find out where it's going.
It must be in town because the turn around time between the four dump trucks is less than ten minutes, some lucky dog is getting some very nice dirt, well except for the asphalt bits and chunks of concrete curbing. Today is payday (BBQ day)and the maintenance guys set up the grills under the ambulance drive in shed, if the dump truck guys stop, Dave will grill 'em a burger. That's service! RIA
hello there! The place is looking great...got any openings for dietary management????? Carol
Carol, there will be much larger kitchen, they won't pay wages you would like but houses are cheap in town right now, the drug house on my block is still listed for 50K it would either clean up nice or make a great parking lot if it burned down. The older Victorian era farm house is still being remodeled and it is listed over 200k. Today it slushed, wet and cold.
